Libec | GS Counterbalance

When completely balanced, Libec's uniquely designed Perfect Balance System enables the camera to be precisely balanced at any angle within its tilt range.
Although some competitors may provide video heads that can balance a camera within a limited tilt range, Libec is the only manufacturer with advanced technology and development power that can offer a true Perfect Balance with a precise balance at any angle, while providing superior value at a competitive price.

Continuous Counterbalance System

A major downside to stepped Counterbalance systems is the inability to make micro adjustments in the spring strength between steps. Thanks to Libec's Continuous Counterbalance System, settings can easily be fine-tuned. Noticeably, even the slightest angle adjustment via the pan bar's rosette can offset the balance. Thanks to this no-step counterbalance system, balancing is smooth and precise. Libec's Continuous Counterbalance System enables fine-tuned balance settings to achieve Perfect Balance, making it a lot easier for users to enjoy precise camera movements instead.

Smooth Balance System

Typically, when counterbalance adjustment knobs turn clockwise for increased tension, the spring's tension tightens, increasing the difficulty of turning the knob. This problem is solved thanks to Libec's Smooth Balance System that evenly stabilizes the turning tension, allowing users to turn the counterbalance knob smoothly and consistently for quick and easy adjustments.

Advanced Drag Unit

The layered metal unit in the drag system ensures outstanding operability, durability and reliability. Thanks to the finest silicon grease applied, the advanced drag unit offers smooth starts/stops movements and incredible backlash control. In addition, the grease provides remarkable pan and tilt movements at a wide temperature range from -40°C/-40°F up to +60°C/+140°F (QD from -20°C/-4°F). The multi-step pan tilt system covers a wide range of drag, and unlike other brand heads, there is no need to store this in its zero "free" mode.

Counterbalance Meter

Equipped with a counterbalance meter with the measurement range of 0 to 100. This allows users to glance at the head's minimum/maximum inner spring strength, making camera balances on site a piece of cake.
